Reveals the candid thoughts and feelings of those most directly involved in adoptions: the adoptee, the adopters, and the birth parents.Adoption Unfiltered authors Sara Easterly (adoptee), Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard (birth parent), and Lori Holden (adoptive parent) interview more than 30 adoptees, 20 birth parents, a dozen adoptive parents, and several industry professionals¿all sharing candidly about the challenges in adoption. While finding common ground in the sometimes-contentious space of adoption may seem like a lofty goal, it reveals the authors¿ optimistic aim: working together with truth and transparency to move toward healing. Flipping the typical script, in which adoptive parents take the lion¿s share of the narrative, this book leads with adoptee stories then moves on to stories of challenges and perspectives of birth parents¿so often marginalized and silent. The third section offers narratives from adoptive parents who are working through their unique challenges. We also hear from adoption professionals, who share the challenges of operating ethically amid rampant unethical practices in the unregulated world of finding infants and children for homes. Finally, we hear from activists and adoption-competent therapists, offering their ideas to make adoption policies and practices better for all involved. Adoption is a beautiful experience but has challenges just like any other relationship or family system. The unique perspectives found here can help to smooth out the rough spots, celebrate the joys, and provide comfort and confirmation for everyone involved in the adoption journey.

Mothers aren't supposed to be angry. Still, Minna Dubin was an angry mum: exhausted by the gruelling, thankless work of full-time parenting and feeling her career slip away, she would find herself screaming at her child or exploding at her husband.When Dubin pushed past her shame and talked with other mothers about how she was feeling, she realized that she was far from alone. Mum Rage is Dubin's ground-breaking work of reportage about an unspoken crisis of anger sweeping the country-and the world. She finds that while a specific instance of rage might be triggered by something as simple as a child who won't tie her shoes, the roots of the anger go far deeper, from the unequal burden of childcare shouldered by mums to the flattening of women's identities once they have kids. Drawing on insights from mums across the spectrum of race, sexual orientation, and class, she offers practical tools to help readers disarm their rage in the moment, while never losing sight of the broader social change we need to stop raging for good.

An exploration of ten different ways in which parents can learn or re-learn how to connect with God as his child, written by Parenting for Faith's ministry lead Anna Hawken.

For first-time parents, those initial few months of parenthood can seem like your lives have been taken over completely by the tiny human you've brought into your home. Sometimes, it feels like your bundle of joy has crowned themselves as your realm's new ruler, and you're suddenly servants entrenched in a new regime, but you didn't get a copy of the manifesto of nebulous laws and rigorous expectations. Well, the baby probably feels the same way.But not to worry, as you might guess from the surprisingly large number of people on this planet who have been willing to procreate more than once, if both ruler and subject devote themselves to one another, and try to maintain a modicum of patience, empathy and humor, fulfillment, and maybe a little fun, can be had by all. This collection of one such baby's reflections on his first year of rulership may give new parents a comical perspective on what changes they might see within their own realm, as their own new Overlord settles in.

ARE YOU PARENTING OR ARE YOU PARENTING WELL?Raising kids today is more challenging than it has ever been. Technology, social media, and the ever-shifting standards of what is right and wrong can make parenting in modern-day culture difficult to navigate. If we want to win the battle as parents, we need to have the desire to truly parent well. If we want to parent well, we must resolve to make parenting more important than almost anything else and give it the effort and attention that's required. With all the outside influences that kids are facing every single day, parenting well requires a heightened sense of commitment and discernment, as well as a willingness to lead by example. Most parents want to do the best job they can, and with much focus and effort can succeed in this very noble desire and responsibility. In Salt, Light, and Kids, Steve Hines helps parents train up their children to become the salt of the earth and the light of the world and to hear God's voice above all the competing voices vying for their attention."Whether you're expecting your first child or in the frontlines of the teen years, you will discover Salt, Light, & Kids to be an invaluable resource for your parenting journey."--CHRIS HODGES, NY Times bestselling author and Senior Pastor of Church of the Highlands, Birmingham, AL
